Hi all,

Had a flat battery this morning. I tried to jump start and couldn't. I then tried to swap battery but think I may have done some damage as I saw a biggger spark then normal. Changed the battery back and now when I try to jump start I don't get anything.

This morning it was just a flat battery, ie central locking work, battery just couldn't turn the car over. Now it's got no power, no horn, no central locking etc.

Checked fuses, only electrics 10a is out. Could that be it?

Can anyone help?

hang on... u guys mean to say that the bit of cable that runs from the positive battery pole into the fuse block is a fuse????

isnt it just a large gauge piece of cable that takes the positive from the battery to one side of the fuses and relays??

i have replaced this bit of cable twice when installing battery isolators and in no way did it look like a 'fuse'.

it looked to be exactly the same as the earth strap on the other side of the battery... just a piece of cable!!!

nope not sorted yet...

duncan are you refering to the boot or bonnet?

really just starting with this testing electrics....but if i put a multimeter on both sides of the fuse on either end of the fusable link with it connected....and it reads zero....does that mean its live or busted?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
